Disturbing and agonizing tale of infatuation and revolution, The Gospel of Yudas takes you through the trials and tribulations faced by the members of the Naxalite movement that happened in India during Indira Gandhi's reign.

15 year old Prema falls in love with Yudas, an older guy who has seen bad days like no one. He suffers the loss of his loved ones and blames himself for their deaths. He has nothing to offer Prema other than stories of the times when his life went helter-skelter.
The characters are well written, and each character has a piece of their own hell. The story is narrated by Prema and her POV is driven by infatuation, lust and a life that she has indefinitely dedicated to Yudas, irrespective of his presence or approval.

The plot can get pretty disturbing at times. Yudas' stories of suffering and love exist as a constant shadow throughout the 150-page read.

Full review up on the blog soon.
